Sure why not, TnT have a rich history of true freshman national champs. The list: Spencer lee... And that's the the list. *Two redshirt freshman champs, one actual and one super redshirt who was technically a RS sophomore I believe thanks to a lost year of eligibility because Vs Tech were jilted lovers. Hard to argue with you given that track record.
In fairness, I can only think of one true freshman national champ for cael as well, Mark Hall. Which, if true means David Taylor just had more true freshman national champs in one year than TnT and Cael combined in their careers....That's a wild and concerning stat for the rest of college wrestling outside of Stillwater..PSU included.
